I guess you're right because the spots are broad and close to each other, Z.Transalpina should have smaller ones with larger gaps

My arguments for Filipendulae: range is OK, but altitude?? Spots are not as sharp as in Transalpina, no black rings, black antennae (not always reliable criteria).

I am not sure about this one, can you help me with the correct id please ?
